Fiction Tuesday - The English Girl

Daniel Silva delivers another spectacular thriller starring Gabriel Allon: The English Girl.
When a beautiful young British woman vanishes on the island of Corsica,
a prime minister's career is threatened with destruction. Allon, the
wayward son of Israeli intelligence, is thrust into a game of shadows
where nothing is what it seems...and where the only thing more dangerous
than his enemies might be the truth._ Silva's work has captured the imagination of millions worldwide. His #1 New York Times
bestselling series, which chronicles the adventures of art-restorer and
master spy Gabriel Allon, has earned the praise of readers and
reviewers everywhere. This captivating new page-turner from the
undisputed master of spy fiction is sure to thrill new and old fans
alike.

This is book 13 for Silva's Gabriel Allon. He's President Bill Clinton's favorite fictional character.

It would be a long shot, but Hamish Linklater at Gabe Allon.

“As usual, Silva takes the reader hostage from page one with his canny
mix of spy craft and suspense….Silva’s ongoing ability to combine le
Carré-like texture with high energy plotting has produced a string of
commercial and critical successes. Chalk up another one.” (Booklist)

"I have been a fan of Daniel Silva’s Gabriel Allon for years. Every
summer, I look forward to the latest installment. I do admit that I was
starting to get slightly tired of Allon being beaten to near death.."-Bongo Reader

James Bond and Jason Bourne may have some competition in the spy game. Deadline
reports that Universal has picked up Daniel Silva’s Gabriel Allon
novels for a potential new spy franchise. Allon is a semi-retired
Mossad agent that killed six of the Munich terrorists and makes his
living restoring art and taking the occasional Israeli spy assignment,
because if there’s a job worth outsourcing, it’s intelligence
gathering. Former NBC-Universal CEO Jeff Zucker will serve as the
film’s producer. The studio is currently looking for a screenwriter but
they’re still deciding which of the ten Allon novels will be adapted
first (the first one published was 2002′s The Kill Artist).-collider
